Default Refilling one's own toner cartridges?

Anyone here with experience of refilling LaserJet toner cartridges? In

Sorry no, when we looked into the economics - it just wasnt worth it,
the eBay warriors can do it cheaper and easier than refilling yourself -
at least in the case of the HPCP1025 sets anyway. Youtube?


I've bought aftermarket 96A cartridges on Amazon -- two different
vendors -- and they've lasted less than a year, compared with original
HP or with OfficeMax-branded "remanufactured" cartridges that were
printing far more pages per month and lasting several years.


I've found that also, though not as bad as you suggest (it might vary
between models). One thing that I have noticed is that the toner seems
thicker on the page with cheap cartridges from Ebay than with a
remanufactured one, so possibly they have the same quantity of toner,
but use more of it per page.
